If you're a big fan, you already knew what was coming in the season finale. But it didn't make it any easier -- or less heartbreaking -- to watch. The majority of the Season 3 "Downton" finale, or the "Christmas special" as its called in the U.K., took place in Scotland, where the whole family (minus Branson) visits the Highlands home of the Dowager's niece, Susan, and her husband, Shrimpy. Most of the trip included bagpipes, hunting, more bagpipes and Scottish reel dancing. But more on that later (and more on O'Brien meeting her Scottish lady's maid doppelganger)

Coppin State's Kay Crawley always waited until after her tennis matches to let each opponent in on a little secret. Though her playing style and youthful appearance allowed her to blend in with the rest of the competition, she was a little older.OK, not just a little. Crawley is a 45-year-old sophomore, married and the mother of three. But she is more than a novelty, more than a middle-aged woman trying to recapture her youth.Overcoming a late start in the sport and three years when she didn't pick up a racket before arriving at Coppin, Crawley developed into one of the top players in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference by season's end.Competing at No. 2 singles, she became the first Eagle to reach the final of the league championships in Tallahassee, Fla., and was chosen the tournament's outstanding women's player.

Just when you thought life couldn't get more depressing for Edith, it does. Big time. Turns out the Gods of Aristocrats can't give poor Edith a break. Was her indiscretion with that farmer really worth so much karma? Look, it's not like her living happily ever (old person) after with the so-fragile-you-touch-him-and-he'll-fall-apart Anthony Strallan was ever a safe bet. 1) He's nice enough but sort-of creepy. 2) He looks like a ghost from a Henry James novel. 3) His arm = busted.

Earl Crawley is a man who believes hard work, like confession, is good for the soul. On weekday mornings, he makes his way from his modest flagstone rowhouse in Northeast Baltimore, catches an MTA bus to Towson and heads to the Mercantile Bank and Trust branch, where he is the resident parking lot attendant. Thirty-five years he's done this. The job began back when Lyndon B. Johnson was president, and it continues to this day. "I retired back in December, but I'm still working 20 hours a week, part-time, you know," explains Crawley, a small-framed man of 63, with warm, crinkly eyes behind thick lenses, and a shy smile.

The president of an Elkridge housing cooperative is still in office despite accusations that he shouted obscenities at children and threatened to push a disabled woman from her wheelchair.About 30 tenants from Guilford Gardens Cooperative attempted Tuesday to remove Perry Wayne Crawley from the board of directors.

According to the organization's bylaws, 48 of the 95 cooperative members must be present to impeach an officer.

On a recent Monday morning, nine seniors at Florence Bain Senior Center in Columbia worked up a sweat doing an exercise movement known as "white-crane-spread-its-wings."The exercise, which resembles the long strides and wing movements of a crane, is one of many body motions that Xiao Fang Xu Crawley is teaching in a class on tai chi, an ancient Chinese art of movement.At the recent class, the tinkling sounds of Chinese instruments from a nearby tape deck accompanied the students as they concentrated on various postures.

If colleges gave courses in Baltimore's buses, Tyrone Crawley would have a Ph.D.Since he was a child, the 35-year-old Social Security Administration employee has been exploring Baltimore by bus and, since it opened in 1983, by Metro.He has chatted, eavesdropped, snoozed, listened to his portable tape deck, flirted and simply cruised while riding the M-6, the 87, the 44x or the White Marsh Flyer -- names for some of the Mass Transit Administration's 79 routes.He has put up with friends in the suburbs who have complained about having to pick him up at bus stops at shopping malls.

RICHMOND, Va. -- To appreciate fully what winning the national championship means to the North Carolina women's basketball team, one must step into the dreams of center Sylvia Crawley.In Crawley's freshman year, the Tar Heels finished last in the Atlantic Coast Conference, winning just two of 14 conference games.Yesterday, Crawley and guard Tonya Sampson, the only seniors on the North Carolina team, reached the pinnacle of the sport after being in the basement with the Tar Heels' 60-59 victory over Louisiana Tech in the NCAA championship game.
